Meanwhile Holly took to her Instagram page to gush about the day before her birthday.

She gave fans a sneak peek at her This Morning outfit, with a clingy black jumper and flowing pink skirt flattering her figure, and added the excited caption: The final @thismorning being 35!!,” followed by a cheeky monkey icon and the details of where she purchased her outfit.

Pyjama-clad Phillip Scofield had his fans in stitches as he pulled off the ‘dab’ dance

Meanwhile Phil is renowned for his hilarious online videos.

Always up for a bit of banter he gave his best attempt at the dab dance move which sees people point one arm upwards towards the sky, while testing their coordination as they bow their head into the other forearm.

Phil seemed to have his dance moves on point even combining them with a swift slide from his kitchen worktop onto the floor as he pulled off the routine with aplomb.
